Carry Gun Paradigm Shift

[warbird1]

cliffs:
XDS in .45 ACP sold after getting it back from the recall (serious trigger issues)

carried the custom Colt CCO for two months - 8 rounds of .45 ACP

One of my firearm mentors convinced me that shot placement trumps caliber. (And I've been a .45 ACP guy.)

Now I am carrying an ugly, sunrise-dependable Gen3, Glock 19.

16 rounds of Barnes all-copper 9mm.

25 cent trigger job = smooth, 5 lb trigger

finis

My condolences .

I would carry that before a Block any day...........If 8 rds. of .45 isn't enough, you might as well kiss your arse goodbye...............

Just how badly would you want to carry it?

Years ago my friends and I, yes I had two fiends, would debate light fast vs slow heavy self defense ammo.
My solution, and first carry gun,
was a S&W 629 Mountain Gun loaded with Federal 240 gr 44 Mag Hydra-Shoks - the best of both worlds.
Later I switched to a Sig P220 45.
And then went through a variety of other makes and calibers.

The another popular debate was caliber vs capacity.
And my solution is a HK USP Tactical 45.
12+1 230 gr +P @ ~940 fps - the best of both worlds.
That along with my trusty titanium J-frame bug are what I carry on weekends.

Full Disclosure
Weekdays, in business attire, when only a pocket pistol will do.
My sub-compact HK P2000SK 357 Sig gets the call (9+1 125 gr @ ~1300 fps).

If it's any consolation, I always carry my CM9 as my BUG.

comfy little booger

I'll likely be sporting my all stainless Kahr MK40 Elite on Thanksgiving.
Well dressed, drinking fine wine with close friends.

Happy Holidays Everybody!

I would much rather carry my MK9.............but, that wouldn't be bad either.

Barth, I have said this before but will say it again. You have the coolest sheet.

You might be right on that, but keep in mind jeepster's green sheet. That sheet is pretty freekin' cool too. It's a toss up between the two for me. I'd live vicariously thru either one of them at this point.
